Cadet Maka Albarn stood in the large green field that would be hosting the annual Scout Competitions. She had been looking forward to this since her days as a daisy; a competition to prove just how powerful girls and woman alike can be! Especially against the Boy Scouts...
Maka tried not to scowl at them as she waited in line to receive her list of jobs to complete.
"Its not like I hate them," her eyes quickly scanned the list, "They just constantly belittle us girls." This was true, she didn't hate them. She was happy there where those who also like to serve others...but they didn't have to rub it in everyone's face.
"It's just those few that-"
A wall suddenly appeared and forced maka to the ground.
"Hey, you ok?"
Maka blinked up, eyes meeting a shock of red and white.
Oh...that wasn't a wall.
She suddenly blinked, realized her staring, and grabbed his outstretched hand. She was yanked up by more strength than she was prepared for.
A blush spread across her face,
"O-oh why, thank yo-"
"You dropped your dorky hat." His drawl snapped out of haze. Makas pink cheeks turned red as she gripped his stupid tie (noticing the star stating he's in the same rank as her).
"How dare you?! Why don't you watch where you're-"
"Can-it toots, I'm not into buying cookies from little girls." His long finger twirled her pigtail as if to prove a point.
Her body temperature skyrocketed, fueled by his growing smirk. Instead of using words; she used the skills acquired through the self-defense badge.
He let out a yelp as his feet left the ground and the air was knocked out his lungs. His red eyes where suddenly looking at the laughing sun, and a smiling blonde.
"Serves you right," maka felt a little bad as she watched him groan and try to roll over. She looked around and realized he was delivering supplies to the arts and crafts booth. Same direction as her. Maka huffed out 'wuss' before collecting Popsicle sticks and stickers into her hands.
"Soul! Why are you on the ground? And why is this lovely Girl Scout picking up for you?"
The boy next to her set up quickly at the sound of the voice. Maka look behind her to see a white-haired -she gasped- Eagle Scout. He looked like the rude scout next to her, except he was broader and had blue eyes.
"Please forgive my little brother, he doesn't really like extra work."
Maka glanced at, who she believed to be Soul, and watched him scowl at the ground.
"Oh no, it was my fault." She felt his eyes on her back, "yeah, my temper sort of flared."
The Cadet felt almost exposed under the blue gaze. She was normally much better with her superiors. However, she had only meet five Eagle Scouts in her life time...plus... She practically dunked his little brother.
"Stop gawking Soul and help her!"
The Eagle ignored the twos sputtering,
"If you want to surpass me you're going to have to be a bit more polite."
This caught her attention,
"Surpass?"
The brothers looked at her, the eldest chuckled,
"Yeah," he ruffled his little brothers, who finally stood up, spiky hair,
"My widdle bwother wants to be just like me!"
"Wes!" The star scout growled face matching his eyes.
"I think he can surpass you just fine."
The two blinked, soul looking supposed, Wes looked a little taken back.
"Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to surpass my mother who's an Ambassador."
The older brother laughed a bit,
"Look miss..."
"Maka."
"Miss Maka," he stood and gave her a look similar to one you would give a child.
"Becoming an Eagle Scout is much harder-"
"Bro, I would go there."
"It takes much more...fortitude-"
WHAM
Soul had stepped next to her and was now gazing down at his once mighty brother.
"Well, my mother has much more fortitude than all of the Eagle Scouts combined! Further more,"
She gripped Souls hand and pulled him next to her, unaware of his pink cheeks,
"I think your brother will not only become and Eagle Scout, but he can also achieve the Gold Award faster than you."
By now her superior had stood up and dusted off his pants, he stood about a head taller than her but still enough to tower over her.
"Well then Maka, if Soul can win the competitions then we can talk."
Cadet Maka Albarn was never one to back down from a challenge, she stood on her tip-toes in an attempt to level with the older brother,
"We'll both win,"
She turned to the star scout and held out her callused hand,
"As partners."
Both eyes where on him, the unreadable blue of his older/better brother, and the bright warm green of a fiery blonde cadet.
When he took her hand he noticed many things: the faint scars, the contrast in their skin tones, the look on his brothers face, and the warmth that spread from his fingers and throughout his body. The amount of time that passed as they stared into each other's eyes, they may never know.
"Well then," the Eagle Scout cut through their little universe, "I guess we'll see after the completion."
With that, Wes turned heel and walked across the grass.
The two scouts realized they where still holding hands, and quickly let go. The Boy Scout rubbed his fingers over his palm in longing, as the Girl Scout cradled her hand to her chest.
"By the way, I'm Maka Albarn. I case you didn't already know."
"Soul, Soul Evans."
"Well Soul," he couldn't help but be dazzled by her smile, "I guess we're partners."
He found himself grinning back at her, delighted by the idea.
"Yeah, guess we are."
"Alright!" She put her hands on her waist cheeks puffed out and pink,
"We need to deliver these to the booth first." He watched as she scooped up more supplies before bounding off with the arts and crafts stuff.
"Come on Soul!"
Soul watched her. Maka Albarn, feisty cadet of the Girl Scouts. Able to drop him in two seconds or smile in three, the one who stood up to his brother and got him to join the competition within five minutes of knowing her.
He smiled as he picked up the rest of the cotton balls; she certainly was a crazy girl. Believing in him without even knowing anything about him.
He glanced next to him as he placed everything on the table, watching as she quickly sorted it all.
Maybe that was just the person she was, just the person he need.
Still he was kind of surprised she hadn't asked the famous question yet.
"By the way,"
He turned to her,
"Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?"
